Snowflake:You fool! Do you realize what you have done??Takahashi: You started the fight scene! Now we're all going to be drawn by the... 3rd String Backup Animation Team!!Glutes: My God, what have I done? AAAAAAAAA! WHAT THE FUCK IS HAPPENING TO MY BODY??

In Homestuck, no one really has any idea of how Aradia's horns are supposed to work. If you look at "[S] Make Her Pay", they're all over the place. In his now defunct Formspring, Word of Hussie claims this is partially intentional:

A curly ram horn is actually a pretty complicated object. I draw fast and loose and a lot of times emphasize gesture and stylization over precision. If you're looking for rigid fidelity to a couple of loopy horns I am afraid you're barking up the wrong tree! They curl whatever way looks best for the scene.

When her ancestor is introduced, her horns quickly got bored of these shenanigans and left her head entirely.◊ This was swiftly corrected, though.

In the 6/12/2011 update, there was a group shot of six of the trolls including a distorted-looking Karkat off in the distancenote the one in grey next to Terezi, the one in green and red which looked as if his entire body was made up of a pair of legs. Upon noticing the goof, fanartists leapt into an enthusiastic Pantskat party including lots of fake sprites and wiki vandalism. And then the memetic longpants actually appeared in the comic for real, as an article of clothing alchemized by fedoraFreak, and as the legwear of Karkat's ancestor.

Occasionally characters will have 4 fingers instead of 5 in Ava's Demon.

Sonichu: characters' body parts change proportions and length so often that it's not a stretch to say that no one is ever drawn the same way twice. The art does improve somewhat starting with issue 5, but not by much.

A number of the Kevin & Kell Sunday strips appear to be colored completely differently from the dailies. In addition to the colors appeared noticeably flatter, many of the characters wear the wrong colored outfits or in the case of Kell and Rudy, go from brownish-grey fur to bright beige. This has persisted to some of the book covers as well (such as Honeymoon 2.0).

A common issue with the artwork in MegaTokyo is that the characters look almost nothing like each other between pages, or even between panels. Given that the artist/creator is, by nature, an architect, it's not a good thing. This problem is pretty noticeable even from far away.
